Kathy Ford

Kathy Ford is an artist and author whose writing career began in elementary school when she submitted an essay to a writing contest about Earth Day (when Earth Day was brand new on the calendar). She won an award for the essay and received three tree seedlings as her prize!

She held many diverse roles throughout her career, including cable TV designer, systems analyst, maternity clothing store owner, business process re-engineering consultant, manager (and later VP) of customer service, demand planning and logistics functions in various consumer products companies. Now retired, she continues to learn and try new things, including writing a book and training to become a yoga therapist. She still paints and shows her work in local galleries.
